SIMPLE PLEASURES

SIMPLE PLEASURES

What fun its been to read so many posts about SIMP and relive the memories. I had such a lovely time in Paris as my son was also over for the weekend and they didn't tell me he'd be there so it was a fantastic surprise. As he & his girlfriend are only managing to spend a weekend together every 6 weeks or so I wanted to give them time together so spent lots of time wandering myself ... and loved it!! We got together for lunch or dinner and went shopping so it was a happy balance :-)

Hi, my name is Jackie.
I live in the beautiful city of Edinburgh, and am very proud to be Scottish. I have a daughter and 2 sons all grown up now and am happiest when they are all here together which happens maybe twice a year.
I stumbled on this absorbing miniatures hobby when I was totally mesmerised by Titania's Palace in Legoland and came home from that holiday with my first dollshouse bought in a supermarket in Horsens, Denmark. It was 1/16th scale and like many people I was so proud of my efforts to furnish it! I have dipped in and out of the hobby for over 20 years and now find it a wonderful way to escape the less pleasant aspects of modern life!
How things have changed in 20 years .... I now have around 10 houses, most being renovated or in design phase!! I have so many ideas and so little time.
I have loved reading other blogs and hope that this will enable me to share my hobby with like minded folks.
